The result? A restaurant-level side that steals the show next to steak, but also stands alone as dinner-worthy comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brief introduction to the recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastro\u2019s made a name for itself with prime beef and luxe tableside service, but the Gorgonzola macaroni often wins the popularity contest. This homemade rendition recreates that rich, tangy sauce and the toasty, stretchy top layer you crave. It\u2019s indulgent, unapologetic, and surprisingly doable on a weeknight\u2014or for a special dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you\u2019ll love this version<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Deep, layered flavor.<\/strong> Gorgonzola gives a sharp, tangy kick while the blend of mozzarella, Fontina, and Parmesan adds cream and stretch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Restaurant-style finish at home.<\/strong> Broil it to get that blistered, golden top\u2014no tuxedo required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make-ahead friendly.<\/strong> The sauce holds up in the fridge for a day or two\u2014reheat gently and assemble when ready.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crowd-pleasing comfort.<\/strong> Want something to impress without fuss? This sits high on the list of <strong>Popular Recipes<\/strong> for a reason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The story behind the dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastro\u2019s reputation started in Scottsdale and grew into a national name. Folks who\u2019ve dined there swear by the sides as much as the steak. I wanted to bottle that experience\u2014savor the tang of Gorgonzola, the silky milkiness, that crunchy broiled lid\u2014and replicate it in my own kitchen. After a few tests (and way too many cheese crumbs consumed), I landed on this combination that captures the heart of the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients breakdown \u2014 what each one brings to the party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unsalted butter (\u00be cup):<\/strong> Builds the roux and gives that silk factor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minced garlic &amp; pureed yellow onions:<\/strong> Small aromatic lift\u2014don\u2019t skip. They mellow and sweeten the base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour (\u00bd cup):<\/strong> Thickens the sauce into a velvety b\u00e9chamel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whole milk (2 cups):<\/strong> The creamy backbone; it melds with the roux for a luscious mouthfeel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parmesan (1\u00bd cups, divided):<\/strong> Sharp, salty, and savory\u2014Parmesan layers the umami.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mozzarella (2\u00bc cups, divided):<\/strong> For gooey stretch under and over the pasta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fontina (\u00bc cup):<\/strong> Adds a mellow, nutty richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gorgonzola (1 cup, crumbled):<\/strong> The star\u2014salty, tangy, and slightly funky in the best way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>White pepper (two pinches):<\/strong> Warm but subtle\u2014keeps the sauce savory without black specks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elbow macaroni (16 oz box):<\/strong> The classic carrier. Short pasta traps sauce nicely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chopped fresh parsley (1 Tbsp):<\/strong> Bright garnish to balance the richness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If tracking down all those cheeses sounds tedious, a multi-cheese Italian blend from the grocery aisle works fine\u2014FYI, it won\u2019t be identical, but it\u2019s an excellent shortcut for busy cooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-step \u2014 How to make it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a straight-up, confident process: sauce, pasta, mix, top, broil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Build the base:<\/strong> In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and pureed onions; saut\u00e9 until translucent and fragrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make the roux:<\/strong> Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for about 5 minutes. This cooks the flour taste out and creates a stable thickener. <strong>Keep stirring<\/strong> so it doesn\u2019t burn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add milk:<\/strong> Pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it thicken until it lightly boils and coats the back of a spoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finish the cheese sauce:<\/strong> Turn the heat low. One by one, whisk in 1 cup of the Parmesan, \u00bc cup mozzarella, the Fontina, and the crumbled Gorgonzola. Whisk until silky. Add two pinches of white pepper. <strong>Taste and adjust<\/strong>\u2014if you want more punch, add a tad more Gorgonzola.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook the pasta:<\/strong> Boil the elbow macaroni until al dente. Drain well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine:<\/strong> Stir the drained pasta into the cheese sauce until every nook is coated. Transfer the mixture to a broiler-safe baking dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Top &amp; broil:<\/strong> Evenly sprinkle 2 cups of mozzarella and \u00bd cup Parmesan over the top. Slide onto the middle rack and broil for 4\u20135 minutes until the top turns a gorgeous golden brown and bubbles. Watch it closely\u2014broilers don\u2019t negotiate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finish &amp; serve:<\/strong> Scatter chopped parsley on top and serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Makes about 5 servings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Decadent-Mac-And-Cheese-With-Gorgonzola-Cheese-\u2014-Best-Mastros-Steakhouse-Copycat-1.webp\" alt=\"Broiler-browned gorgonzola macaroni and cheese in a rustic baking dish, with melted golden cheese, a sprinkle of parsley, and a bubbling, crisp top, Mac And Cheese With Gorgonzola Cheese.\" class=\"wp-image-55508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Decadent-Mac-And-Cheese-With-Gorgonzola-Cheese-\u2014-Best-Mastros-Steakhouse-Copycat-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Decadent-Mac-And-Cheese-With-Gorgonzola-Cheese-\u2014-Best-Mastros-Steakhouse-Copycat-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Decadent-Mac-And-Cheese-With-Gorgonzola-Cheese-\u2014-Best-Mastros-Steakhouse-Copycat-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Decadent-Mac-And-Cheese-With-Gorgonzola-Cheese-\u2014-Best-Mastros-Steakhouse-Copycat-1-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro tips for perfect results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t rush the roux.<\/strong> Cook the flour for several minutes to avoid raw flour taste\u2014this is small alchemy that matters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grate your own cheese.<\/strong> Pre-shredded cheese includes anti-caking agents; freshly grated melts smoother.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One cheese at a time.<\/strong> Add cheeses gradually off the heat when possible to prevent grainy separation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch the broiler like a hawk.<\/strong> Four minutes can become seven in a blink; you want gold, not charcoal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use whole milk<\/strong> (or a mix with light cream) for richness\u2014skim milk produces thin sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If sauce thickens too much when cooling,<\/strong> loosen it with a splash of warm milk while reheating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations to try \u2014 riff on the classic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swap some Gorgonzola for blue cheese for a more assertive bite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add smoked bacon or pancetta to the saut\u00e9 step for a meaty, savory lift\u2014this turns it into full-on <a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/cheddar-bay-biscuit-seafood-pot-pie-comfort-food-dinner\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1553\">comfort food<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir in roasted mushrooms or caramelized onions for earthier notes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a smokier vibe, consider the <strong>Sunny Anderson <a href=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/smoked-gouda-onion-dip-top-gouda-cheese-dip-recipes\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1555\">Smoked Gouda<\/a> Mac &amp; Cheese<\/strong> direction\u2014blend smoked Gouda into the mix.

Add the garlic and the onion puree and saut\u00e9 until the onions become translucent and fragrant.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for about five minutes to cook off the raw flour taste and build a roux.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Gradually whisk in the milk, bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer, and continue cooking until it thickens and just begins to bubble.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Lower the heat and incorporate the cheeses in stages: first stir in 1 cup of the Parmesan, then add \u00bc cup of the mozzarella, followed by the Fontina and the crumbled Gorgonzola. Whisk until the sauce becomes smooth and glossy.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Season the sauce with the white pepper, taste, and remove from the heat. (Tip: you can prepare this sauce up to 48 hours ahead\u2014reheat gently over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.)<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Meanwhile, cook the elbow pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until it reaches al dente. Drain thoroughly.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Toss the hot pasta into the cheese sauce, stirring so every noodle gets coated.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Spoon the mixture into a broiler-safe casserole or baking dish. Scatter the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella and the remaining \u00bd cup Parmesan evenly over the top.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Place the dish on the middle oven rack under a hot broiler for about 4\u20135 minutes, watching closely, until the topping bubbles and turns a deep golden brown.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the chopped parsley, and serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>Reheating tip: Gently warm leftovers on the stove with a splash of milk to loosen the sauce, or reheat in a 350\u00b0F oven covered with foil, then uncover and broil briefly to refresh the crust.<\/li>\n<li>Shortcut: If tracking down every cheese seems daunting, a quality pre-blended Italian cheese mix works well for the broil topping\u2014use about 1\u00bd cups and proceed as directed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t<footer class=\"tasty-recipes-entry-footer\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" class=\"svg-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-icon-color.color\"><use href=\"#tasty-recipes-icon-instagram\"><\/use><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-footer-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-heading-color.color h3-transform.text-transform footer-heading.innerText\">Did you make this recipe?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-description-color.color footer-description.innerHTML\"><p>Share a photo and tag us \u2014 we can&#8217;t wait to see what you&#8217;ve made!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Mac And Cheese With Gorgonzola Cheese, Sunny Anderson Smoked Gouda Mac &amp; Cheese, Macaroni Cheese Recipes, Top Secret Recipes, Marinara Sauce Homemade, Macaroni Cheese, Popular Recipes, Cheese Recipes, Copycat Recipes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you dream about Mac And Cheese With Gorgonzola Cheese, this Mastro\u2019s-style version delivers the ultra-creamy sauce and golden, bubbling top that keeps people ordering it again and again.
